Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted July 27, 20159 yr About This File This application will force members in selected groups to read a specific topic/announcement before being able to use the site. A popup will appear to those users with only one option: a button to redirect to that topic/announcement. Settings (texts to be used on topics/announcements on public side): Popup Title Popup Message Per Group Settings: Enable application for the group Topic/Announcement ID Popup Title Popup Message Note: Due to the rework on plugin (every new resource has to be done from the scratch to run on IPS4), a new purchase is required. Thank you for your understanding.
July 28, 20159 yr Author can you implement countdown when members are force read to a topic Countdown ?!? Sorry, I see no sense on it. It appears a popup. User go to topic. End of story.
July 28, 20159 yr so people dont dismiss popup and do something elselike example forcing them to read forum rules.
July 28, 20159 yr Author so people dont dismiss popup and do something elseEvery page you go, the popup will be there. Popup won't go away while you don't click on the button to go topic/announcement. The purpose is really don't miss it.
July 28, 20159 yr shame that you wont consider countdown on topics.. i would had bought it otherwise, i had countdown mod on vbulletin and it worked as i saw less ppl breaking a specific forum rules that ppl have previously done alot of times before.
July 28, 20159 yr Author Sorry, I can't simply add every single suggestion just because people request. It NEEDS to make sense to me. This one doesn't, sorry.
August 12, 20159 yr Hi Adriano,is there a way to force a usergroup to show the popup on every visit (cookie, IP, etc)... I don't know, if this is possible.Background: I want to show some instructions on the announcement... Off course people will read (or at least click on the link) but will not change the requested things... After they change their things, the usergroup will be changed (this, off course, is nothing your app has to deal with) with no popus defined in your app.So, all i ask is about recurring popups for defined usergroups.Thanks
August 24, 20159 yr For some reason this application isn't working for me, i have installed the application and when i click for a topic to be read by certain users it shows complete but members are not receiving the pop up. I am only seeing tools in the ACP also.

I am only seeing tools in the ACP also. There's a bug in this version that made the Settings screen disappear. It will work if you force a group via Admin CP -> Members -> Groups. I will release tomorrow the new version, fixing this and another bug with Terms of Service app.
August 27, 20159 yr I just purchased this. I am new to this forum software and new to plugins, what is the proper way to install this? Thank you.
August 27, 20159 yr Author Take a read on the HTML file.Anyway, you need to go to the Admin CP -> Applications and upload the .tar file there.
August 27, 20159 yr Take a read on the HTML file.Anyway, you need to go to the Admin CP -> Applications and upload the .tar file there.So easy. Thank you for the quick reply. Sorry I missed the html file. I didn't mean to bug. @Adriano Faria i installed it, and when trying it out, I am getting this message, "We could not find the announcement you were trying to view."

August 30, 20159 yr Nice one Adriano used to have this feature on a past vbullitin site and was very useful for keeping the members posted on site updates! Presently on mobile but will download this when I get back to the desktop..
August 30, 20159 yr Author I updated the previous version, then also uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version, and I am still getting the following message: "We could not find the announcement you were trying to view."Have you selected TOPIC instead of Annoucement for the group? I've been using it all day long for a couple of days to try to reproduce another error (fixed) and I didn't ran on it.Provide ACP access via PM so I can take a look.
